Bj Sizemore If Scott Pilgrim and Scream were thrown into a blender and The Breakfast Club pushed the button, it would be this movie. I went into it blind and was pleasantly surprised, sharing it with some friends, and then they recommend it to co-workers. It is making the rounds in our group here. I watch a ton of horror movies and this is a decent outing from the last decade. Not reeking of the tropes of Asian horror as so many have tried in the past few years, this movie spreads the 80's love with a nice 90's jam and serves it on Millineal bread. Off the wall and insane sometimes, breaking the fourth wall and being totally self aware, delving into the weird more often than not, somehow it all kind of works and is a pretty darn good time.

michaeladrion I checked this film out on my Crackle app initially because:Dane Cook.The movie is directed by J. KAHN who did a B.Spears video I saw once and another film I'm sure I also saw ( Charlies Angles?).He also appeared on an ep of MTV cribs, and although his living quarters are meager,his film making acumen is anything but. It's almost impossible to tell you what the film is about without sounding like a mental patient. Though I'll say it's less about a narrative and more about a bouquet of familiar yet amusing cinematic tropes, dressed up as a comedy horror thriller. The problem with Detention carrying the weight of this genre is that everyone in the film, regardless of circumstance is having too much fun. It's high on laughs (not lol laughs,chuckles) but low on tension. No one seems to be in a situation they can't sass their way out of with a Bart Simpson style barb. As denoted by the "slasher films" disappointingly low kill count. This movie plays out like a lucid nightmare the dreamer floats along with because they'll wake up soon for brunch and all you can drink mimosas. DETENTION is a good film to watch during a co-ed horror film sleepover. Get busy when this comes on,trust me, you won't miss anything except a few forced Sting references.

Tom Allan The entire film felt like the director was showcasing his taste in popular culture. Absolutely no value to a mainstream audience.Thin plot, generic characters, and whimsy instead of an actual coherent storyline. For the most part, it was just clichéd references to films that are actually better than the one you're watching.We only watched it because it appeared in the horror section of Netflix, but it turned out to be much more horrifying than we expected. If it weren't for all the janky side stories, the main plot about the serial killer would have lasted around 20 minutes. And I wish it did.Extremely boring trash marketed towards nineties kids who jack off over corded land-line phones.

atinder Detention (2011) This is another re-watch, when I first saw it, I didn't think it was all that great! However. giving it another watch, I actually liked even better the second time around. I really enjoyed the whole movie, there were some very funny moments, that made me laugh out loud. I thought time travel thing was odd to have in slasher movie however it's worked out really well, its was clever how they did it, It didn't seem out of place at all. There were some gory deaths movie that I really enjoyedI am going to give this movie a 8 out of 10
